The perfect guide and host
We made with 3 guys a wonderful trip to the summit of the Kilimanjaro thanks to Renga and his team. Everything was well organised from the start at Kilimanjaro Airport. Renga is the perfect guide and an excellent host. He made our dream come true, step by step as he was used to say. Many tnx!!!

A beautiful memories I will always carry in my hearts.
The journey was challenging, but every step was worth it for this unforgettable encounter with nature’s giants. My 3-day gorilla trekking adventure in Uganda was nothing short of magical. Trekking through lush, mist-covered forests, we followed the calls of birds and the rustle of leaves until we finally stood face-to-face with a gentle mountain gorilla family. Watching their playful young and wise silverback in their natural habitat was a humbling, once-in-a-lifetime moment. Every moment I felt excited and thrilled.

The best holiday EVER
I did a 5-day safari with 3 nights in lodges and 2 nights camping. The experience was absolutely amazing — we saw so many animals and never felt bored for a second. The food was delicious and plentiful, with a great variety of vegetables, meat, fruit, and more. I never once felt hungry after a meal.
Our guide was fantastic, and the places we stayed were all great. The camping was basic but fine — cold showers in the Serengeti, but it was manageable. In Ngorongoro, it was very cold at night, but the campsite was beautiful and we even slept beside zebras, which made it unforgettable. The team who organized the safari were always available and incredibly helpful.
I 100% recommend this safari experience — I loved every moment of it.
There’s also an optional activity for $20: visiting a Maasai village. Personally, I don’t recommend it. For me, it didn’t feel authentic — everything seemed staged. We were welcomed with a dance, then shown the school where children recited letters and numbers, and afterward taken to the “houses” where there was nothing inside. They explained how they lived, but something about it just didn’t add up for me.

Good job!
Bonface created a fantastic safari itinerary for a two-day safari trip to Amboseli National Park. Everything, including picking us up from our apartment in Nairobi, was taken care of by Bonface. The person who accompanied us for the two days was both an excellent driver and guide. I can only say that it was a wonderful safari trip for our family.

The most unique experience ever
We booked this tour three days before departure and Clinton was the person we spoke too. His communication was great, he checked everywhere for availability and got us some really great accommodations. People usually arrive on day 1 in the afternoon but we arrived at around 2am so Clinton was able to get someone to pick us up and take us to our first hotel without a problem. Our driver, Boni, was outstanding. Picked us up on time on the first day of the safari and his driving skills were top notch. He tried his best to get us to see all big 5, unfortunately we just missed the leopards. His sense of direction was unbelievable, drove us through the most random roads and still got us to our hotels safely. We were quoted less than what a group experience would have been and we had the absolute best experience ever. We have already shared the information with so many of our friends who are interested in a trip like this. We would 100% book with this agency again.

Highly Efficient.
They gave us an experience we will never forget.
Our tour guide Nicky was exceptional, we did move to the next spot unless we were fully satisfied.
Ultimate Africa Journey Specialists did us justice. Highly recommend 👌

Unequivocally happy with our decision to book through African Big Cats
We loved our safari experience and were so happy to have gone with African Big Cats! They were very responsive throughout the booking process and helped to customize our itinerary, recommending activities, like a crater rim hike in Ngorongoro, based on our interests. The lodgings they booked for us were excellent, except for one which we still found to be “fine” instead of “great”. The vehicle had everything we needed - lot of water, soft drinks, comfortable seats for long drives, and charging ports.
Our guide Festo made the trip extra special for us. He is not only super knowledgeable and respectful of the animals and parks, but is also exceptionally kind and friendly. He was very attentive to our comfort and offered alternative activities or schedules to customize our experience (like leaving our accommodation later than planned early in the trip when we were having trouble adjusting to the time change). For having spent a lot of time together over 9 busy days, we never felt like a burden to him; he just radiates positivity, curiosity, and good vibes!
I would not hesitate to book through African Big Cats again and would recommend them to any friends and family looking to visit Tanzania!

Incredible experience!
I can't say enough good things about our experience with Soul of Tanzania and our guide, Cleopa. Our booking agent, Hugo, was incredibly helpful and answered all of our questions promptly.
Upon arrival from Kenya at the regional airport in Tanzania, our guide, Cleopa, was there to greet us. He made us feel very comfortable from the moment we met him. We climbed into the Land Cruiser and immediately set off to 'look for lions' in the park. As luck had it, we not only found lions, but also a rare sighting of a leopard sleeping in a tree, the carcass of a recent kill hanging beside it, a Cheetah with a small cub next to the road, as well as hippos, several hyenas, male lions sleeping atop rock outcroppings and a mother lion and cubs perched above us on a large rock idly observing us as we observed them. Just when we thought we couldn't top those, we came across two female lions and several cubs devouring a zebra they had recently killed. Amazing! And all in just one afternoon!
Cleopa used his skills as a guide, along with his network of friends and colleagues, to find where the wildlife was, and the best spots to take great photos. He even stopped to help another guide change a flat tire, and was always willing to lend a hand when needed.
Our accommodation while in the Serengeti, Tamba Tent Camp, was very comfortable and we enjoyed dining in the large main hall. The food was terrific and the staff were wonderful. They also had a lovely pool which was very refreshing after a long hot day in the vehicle.
Our trip continued with lunch amidst the Great Migration (amazing!), a long drive across the Olduvai Gorge, on to the Ngorongoro Crater and eventually to our last stop at Lake Manyara. We continued to see incredible sights all along the way and our accomodations, Lion's Paw in the Crater and Best View Lodge at Lake Manyara were top notch with incredible views and the nicest people!
Cleopa continued to find amazing wildlife moments, great lunch spots, and washrooms just in time! He always made us feel safe and his knowledge of wildlife behavior was impressive, to say the least.
If you are looking for a safari company who can meet all of your needs, wants and desires for an amazing trip to Tanzania and all of its wondrous sights, I highly recommend Soul of Tanzania! And, ask for Cleopa to be your guide. . . he's the best!

Good professionals that know what they speak about
We did the 3 day safary at Nyerere national park. It was a really good choice as at Asante bibi tours know a lot about animals, culture and they always try to make all the activities as much entertained as possible.

Excellent Customized Safari Experience in Kenya & Tanzania
After researching many tour operators and getting quotes from more than five, I chose Morning Star Tours & Travel because they provided a fully transparent breakdown of costs, including hotels, entrance fees, jeeps, and meals. That clarity was the main reason I decided to work with them. We booked a customized Kenya and Tanzania safari in July for our group of 15, with three well-maintained jeeps, clean and comfortable hotels, and the flexibility to book our own hotels in certain towns.
I didn’t realize how exceptional their service would be until the tour began—starting with a surprise African safari dance group welcoming us at the airport at 3 a.m.! Our travel consultant, Alice, followed up with us regularly during the trip, and even came to meet us in person to re-assure accommodation arrangements. The team’s arrangements were incredibly thorough, and all our questions before and during the trip were answered promptly.
I have no regrets choosing them, only gratitude. I would highly recommend Morning Star Tours & Travel to all future visitors looking for a personalized, well-organized, and memorable safari experience.
